Adoption Families
Welcome to Adoption Australia. The following is a little more information on what is involved in the adoption process.
The bonds of family are no less strong in an adoptive family than in a biological family. There are some extra challenges. Children will understandably want to know about their birth parents and at some stage, maybe even meet them. This can be difficult for the adoptive parents to understand.
Our service provides detailed information on the adoption process in your state, information on adopting a child from Australia, and information on inter-country adoption. We also share with you our recommendations on what you may need to do to meet the eligibility criteria of your local state adoption department and details on the eligibility criteria from countries that are open to adoption by Australian families. We give you estimated costs and fees for the various adoption processes as well as information on international law and how this affects inter-country adoptions, and recommendations to ensure everything you do is above board and meets international law. We provide you with information regarding alternative options, as well as details on single parent and gay or lesbian household adoptions. Along with that information, we also include contact details for agencies, support groups and non-governmental organisations involved in the adoption process.
Our staff will provide you with the information you require in an easy to read format. We aim to provide you with all the information you require to assist you through the adoption process. Parenting an adopted child is a rewarding and life changing experience.
We understand that the adoption process is a special time for families and that different families have different requirements. We are here to assist you regardless of your situation.
